For most people, Christmas takes the cake as the favorite holiday, but as I grow older, Easter seems to steal my heart more and more each year.

Easter has been twined and twisted into many different meanings and interpretations but individually, the meaning of Easter to each person is different. For me, it represents new beginnings.

In the spring, we are surrounded by new beginnings within nature. Each spring, flowers begin to bloom, and trees begin to bud. This reminds me of a metaphor for life.

We have many chances throughout our lifetime to start over and try again, such as these flowers. They bloom with beauty each spring but eventually, they’ll die, but that doesn’t stop them from being beautiful.

I think this should remind us that life is hard, but we should always stand tall and be beautiful, kind, and courageous because life is short, don’t waste time. So, every Easter when you’re taking family pictures in front of those tulips don’t forget to appreciate their meaning and strive to be kind.

Easter is a time of gathering. Every year families get together for dinner. This is something that doesn’t happen enough in today’s society. Families are too caught up in life, work, or school to spend quality time with their loved ones. So, this Easter, cherish your time spent with your family and know that opportunities like these don’t come as often as they should.

Coming from a Christian household, I can’t go without saying anything about the resurrection of Christ. For most Christians, Easter is looked at as the day Jesus rose from the dead and defeated the grave, which is so true, but for me, it’s a reminder that God still forgives, he still answers prayers, he will never leave your side.

Easter is a reminder that no matter what you have encountered in life, God will take you as you are and let you start your own new beginning.

Easter is a reminder that if God takes you to the depths of the deepest and darkest ocean, he will stand in the midst of darkness with you and guide you to safety.

Easter reminds me of Gods overpowering, irresistible, constant love. For someone to send their son to the grave because he loved his people so much is something that I cannot grasp. God is love.

Easter should remind us to spread love, especially if you’re a Christian. There are so many negative people in this world and the best way to show someone God is by showing them love.

Love will always win, and love will always prosper. God’s love is never-ending and it’s something that everyone should feel. So, this Easter, remember that God loves you and to spread lots of love.

Your interpretation of Easter might be similar to mine or the complete opposite, no matter the interpretation, enjoy Easter, savor the pastels, and inhale the smell of the fresh spring air because it only comes once a year. Hoppy Easter!
